Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $1,065,729; listed items add up to -$411,868

Reported net worth: $1,065,729. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = -$411,868. A difference is normal: net worth also counts assets and debts that aren't listed individually (items under $1,000, credit cards, taxes), and the instructions say subtracting listed liabilities from listed assets won't give an accurate figure in most cases. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

What to check
  • No action needed unless other items look off.

Context Missing or incomplete

Assets itemized in an attachment on page 4

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and this copy includes the attachment (page 4).

  • If the filer owns it, check the business section and secondary income.
